LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 13, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Uproar Entertainment is excited to announce the release of \u201cLive From Las Vegas\u201d by Alex Elkin. Comedian Alex Elkin has a comedy style that is unique and true to himself. He is unapologetic, says what he thinks, delivers the unexpected, and knows what funny is.<\/p>\n

\"Alex
\nIn his own words, \u201cI\u2019m astounded by where material comes from!\u201d He has a natural instinct that allows him to take random ideas and mirror his thoughts into relatable comedy bits for discerning audiences. Having worked with national acts such as Hannibal Buress, Ralphie May, Gabriel Iglesias, Pauly Shore and Carlos Mencia (just to name just a few), Alex has proven that he brings his A-game to every stage he sets foot on.\u00a0His greatest inspiration in comedy is Brian Regan, who makes \u201cthousands of people laugh just by talking about eating a sleeve of Fig Newtons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Elkin began his professional comedy career in the clubs of Hollywood California in ’94 before he was old enough to be allowed in the front door. However his comedy journey started long before then. For as long as he can remember, he knew he wanted to make people laugh. At the tender age of 8, Alex used his natural gift for comedy to detach himself from the daily realities of his home life where his father was battling a serious disease. At school he used comedy to beat the bullies to the punchline, curry favor and avoid being hurt.<\/p>\n

He listened repeatedly to his father’s records of The Smothers Brothers, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and George Carlin. Before he really understood what it meant to be a \u201cComedian\u201d he knew he wanted to be one. By the time he was 18, he was cracking jokes both on and off the boat while working as a skipper on the Jungle Cruise at the Disneyland Resort.<\/p>\n

Alex Elkin has headlined \u201cThe Dirty@12:30,\u201d the #1 comedy show in Las Vegas; Harvey\u2019s in Portland; Reno\/Tahoe Comedy Club; Improvs and more. In 2014 and 2015 he produced two cross-country tours. Better known as \u201cBeans\u201d on The Brickwall Comedy Show (#1 Afternoon Radio Show in Eugene Oregon) Alex Elkin is one of the three voices that act as potent laughing gas on radio station KLZS AM – All Comedy 1450, of which he is also owner. One of his partners, Chris Warren, notes that Elkin shines because of \u201chis ability to adapt to an audience. He can read the audience and that\u2019s something that most comedians don\u2019t have the ability to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He worked as a writer\/actor\/director\/producer on the TV show \u201cFaces\u201d on KLSR FOX-TV. Alex has been on \u201cLast Comic Standing,\u201d E!\u2019s \u201cThe Simple Life\u201d (Season 5), TNT’s \u201cLEVERAGE\u201d (Season 4 & 5), and on NBC’s \u201cGRIMM.\u201d Most recently he was the winner of the 2016 San Francisco Comedy Festival.<\/p>\n

According to Alex: \u201cFor what it’s worth I’d just like to say that if you work at something long enough, put in the work and don’t take the short cuts…eventually opportunity will meet you at your skill level and success is sure to follow. On the other hand, in comedy nothing is ever fair, nothing ever makes sense and don’t take it personally.\u201d<\/p>\n
